Dear Senator Warner,
I am writing to you today as one of your constituents in the Commonwealth of Virgina. By way of background I am a native Virginian, a Sailor having spent thirty-four years on the high seas in multiple armed conflicts defending this great nation, a Pentagon 9/11 survivor, and a retired Civil Servant.
Although my political party affiliation is a Republican, I would consider my self a former “Blue Dog” Democrat who is more than willing to reach across the aisle for both the good of the Commonwealth and our Republic. Even though for years our political parties differed, I viewed you as “my” senator and one that worked for the good of our state and our country. Unfortunately sadly I cannot with a clear conscience longer say that I identify with you as representing me as a citizen of Virginia.
Why is this you may ask:
- You have consistently voted with fellow Democrats against a bill to keep the government funded, a key part of the political maneuvering that has led to the continued government shutdown which has created significant financial strain for federal employees and contractors in Virginia.
- You and fellow Democrats have blocked a much-needed defense spending bill placing partisan politics above National Security and the welfare of our all-volunteer armed force.
- Although you have publicly condemned Jay Jones’s comments as “appalling” and “unacceptable” after news broke of violent text messages sent by Jay Jones you have not withdrawn your endorsement of Jones in the Virginia Attorney General Race – unacceptable.
- Lastly, as one of your constituents I was appalled to see you appearing at the “No Kings” Rally in Woodstock VA where you have clearly placed the optics of partisan politics above service to the nation and your constituents.

In closing it is sad as I have followed and admired your ability to act as a statesman vice a partisan politician but sadly it appears to have lost touch with those to whom you serve. I hope and pray you regain your once solid footing and work for the greater good.
Best,

Fitting that we are to celebrate our
250th Anniversary of a Revolution from a King so we may have our own elected Representatives to protect our God given Freedom.
Now we get to elect our Representatives and today when one side of the political spectrum is not satisfied with the outcome of Free Elections they call the other;
Fascist, Nazis or a King.
Interesting that that same side involved in these protests have shut our government down because they are not happy with our desires not to fund healthcare for illegal immigrants of many Nations. Yes this same side appears to be representative of other Nations Citizens, not America’s.
Today reminds me of a line in a movie
The Patriot;
“Why should I trade 1 Tyrant 3,000 miles away for 3,000 Tyrants 1 mile away”
Today our Independence is threatened by our Globalist Legislature that doesn’t respect our sovereignty, Independence nor the Citizens of this Nation.
Vote Republican
Warner joined 7 MILLION other Americans on October 18. Seven million people demonstrating and only tow arrests — both of them were arrests of MAGAts who drove past peaceful demonstrators and threatened them with firearms.
John, Yes Sir, sad but true …
Mark Warner won a Governorship in 2001 as a so called moderate who could work with others. Warner is now showing his true colors. A radical leftist who cares not for the people of Virginia but what the special interests want.
Warner needs to be sent to the dung heap of history where he belongs.
